The Pico Maccario winery dominates the largest single-block vineyard in Piedmont.  Seventy hectares (175 acres) in one single piece makes the vineyards a true rarity.

Brothers, Pico and Vitaliano Maccario, run this estate created by their grandfather, Carlo.  Pico Maccario, the eldest brother, devotes himself to the production of the wine, while Vitaliano handles the commercial aspects of the business.  They are highly demanding of themselves and have an exact idea of the efforts necessary to achieve the excellent results they obtain.

Lavignone is the name of one of the farmhouses that was built on the property in the 1700s.  Barbera reaches one of its finest expressions in Barbera d’Asti, which achieved DOCG status in 2008.

Pico Maccario are now proud custodians of several parcels of vines in Langhe. These Nebbiolo vineyards are located in the comune of Neive, Serralunga d’Alba and Barolo, this last one with the prestigious Cannubi single vineyard, well-known and recognized as the oldest of Italy (1752) as well one of the most important in the world. The terroirs of the Langhe area, where Barolo and Barbaresco are produced, are very old: they date back to the geolocical epoch of Miocene. Featured by compact soils and fine texture, they adds elegance and a unique evolution over time to the wines.
